Transforming Tourists' Antarctic Experience

随着南极旅游业目前的增长和多样化，该项目旨在发现游轮经营者如何在不同国家背景的游客中与该区域建立积极和了解文化的关系。通过与合作伙伴Intrepid Travel进行广泛的实地考察，该项目预计将产生新的理解，即运营商的积极调解作用如何与南极洲的多感官体验相结合，以建立人类与这个极端但脆弱的地方的联系。预期成果包括制定和实施旅游体验最佳做法的议定书。通过鼓励不同的游客重视南极洲，该项目应使运营商和极地环境都受益。

With the Antarctic tourist industry currently growing and diversifying, the project aims to discover how cruise operators can foster positive and culturally informed relationships with the region among visitors of different national backgrounds. Through extensive in-situ fieldwork with partner Intrepid Travel, the project expects to generate new understandings of how operators' active mediating role combines with multisensory experience of Antarctica to forge human connections with this extreme but fragile place. Anticipated outcomes include protocols for best practice in designing and implementing tourist experiences. By encouraging diverse visitors to value Antarctica, the project should benefit both operators and the polar environment.
